MOTHERHOOD. THE PLACE WHERE WE ARE BIRTHED, ANOINTED, AND CHOSEN TO STEP FORWARD IN THE PRIMAL FORCE OF LOVE.
If we aren’t intentional, we can lose ourselves in this fast-paced world that is designed to keep us busy, numb, and distracted—until our children arrive and hold up the mirrors, initiating our deepest healing. The women in these pages are brave enough to decide that motherhood is their medicine and a calling to come home. The stories collected inside this anthology are not polished tales of success or perfect lessons. This is a sacred moment of authentic storytelling and real-life pain turned into purpose and power. The spirit of a mother is as soft as linen, as fluid as the river, and as strong as a lion. Our delicious human experience is intended to be shared together, so join us in this circle where we gather around the fire to collect warmth and wisdom that can only come from the deepest essence of matriarch.
OUR CHILDREN ARE HERE TO CALL OUT OUR HIGHEST PURPOSE. ARE YOU READY TO BE EXPANDED?
